6. Loneliness: Transient Imprisonment
(11/28/08)
In the Dungeon where doubt that sent me,
I sat in gloom and unto Solitude implored,
"What crime, O Lonely, have I betaken?"
Yet only a phrase from Lonely was spoken,
"Lonely art ye now;
Lonely shalt ye stay."
From then on, days, weeks, months and years passed by
To the same olden phrases I've so abhorred
To the point memory left no token,
Leaving me broken; those words were still spoken!
"Lonely art ye now;
Lonely shalt ye stay."
Insanity have I been driven to,
Leaving me praying that heaven be restored;
Yet, until then, my hell remains unbroken,
Compelling me to stand the words that were spoken:
"Lonely art ye now;
Lonely shalt ye stay."
Until the heaven have betaken me,
And as I left my body, my spirit soared
Beyond that wretched place that left no token,
From which I yelled the words that hath been spoken:
"Lonely art ye now;
Lonely shalt ye stay!"
(To be continued...)
A/N: Yes, I was one lonely bastard, I know; I was one of the dudes who had no friends at the beginning of high school, because all of my friends left after the end of middle school. I had to start all over again, that really sucks.
